timezone: always symlink to zoneinfo rather than copying
Behave as described in the manpage.
This makes sure that we don't need to write to /etc unnecessarily
in case of updates to zoneinfo.
The reason for keeping a copy in /etc was if /usr was on a separate
unmounted partition, but this is no longer supported.
